After a deadly school shooting in Nonthaburi, PM Anutin ordered gun permit purchases suspended and tougher licensing laws drafted. The government says there is no blanket ban and self-defence under Section 68 of the Criminal Code still stands, but carrying firearms in public will not be justified by self-defence. Tighter controls are also planned for dealers, ammunition and shooting ranges. If your business sells, stores, or uses ammunition or firearms, or trades in security or shooting equipment, expect stricter licensing and inspection; details are still being drafted.
